Starting October 1, Sydney households will see water bills rise, with the average annual cost increasing to $1,388 in 2025/26, a 13.8% jump, and reaching $1,695 by 2029/30.
The Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal approved the increases to fund $548 million in annual revenue for Sydney Water and $36 million for WaterNSW, citing infrastructure needs due to population growth and climate challenges.
